Our Nation's Life and Liberty Depend Upon Food 



^1 



To Our Fellow-Tillers of the Soil: Every man who tills the soil and produces Food Crops must do two men's work and more this year — -if we are 

 to remain a free nation. 



The demand for Food the World over is far greater than ever before. The millions upon millions of our Soldiers, Sailors, Ammunition Workers 

 and Red Cross Workers, both men and women, have to be fed. Millions of our strongest and best young men have been taken from our farms and 

 ranches. It is therefore up to us who remain at home to do double duty, and do it quick, or our cause is lost through starvation. 



Remember we have no food surplus carried over to help out should we face a crop shortage or a crop failur^i this year. Everything depends upon 

 what we, as "Soldiers of the Soil," produce this Season. Don't wait until il is too late. Be sure to grow the Biggest and Best Bumper Crops this 

 year you have ever grown. 



Alake your plans immediately. Start your field work earlier than ever. Till your soil oftener and more carefully than ever. Plant only care- 

 fully saved and accurately tested Seeds. So much depends upon this. 



Don't waste Seed. It is already scarce and growing scarcer as the days go by, for already thousands of the World's Best Seed Growers have laid 

 down their lives for liberty. 



The quickest way on earth to produce gooil. wholesome meat is to raise a flock of Poullry. Wherever there is an idle acre or plot of ground, a 

 flock of Poultry can be raised at a profit. 



In dollars and cents you will be liberally rewarded for your earnest work and thought, but, better than that, you will know that you are doing 

 not only "Your Bit," but "Your All" for ihe Life and Liberty of this Glorious Country we love so well. 



This being tlie One-hundredth Anniversary of oar Seed Establishment, it would have given us great pleasure to have dwelt upon its long and 

 successful history, but the Nation and the World is crying out fcr Food, and even such an event so close to our heart as our One-hundredth Anni- 

 versary must be mentioned in the passing — only allowing sufficient time and space to express our deepest appreciation to our life-long friends and 

 customers for their constant loyalty and liberal support which they have given our efforts for so long a time. It will be our most earnest and con- 

 stant endeavor to serve in the future more faithfully than ever. 



That your crops naay be abundant, and that the New Year may hold for you more of happiness than sorrow, I remain. 



Yours respectfully.
